Unlike other youth who migrate from rural areas to seek white-collar jobs in the urban areas, the Municipal Overall Best Farmer moved from the city of Accra where he managed a clothing shop to the village with the intention of farming. His unquenchable thirst for more knowledge in agriculture led him to seek as much information from Agricultural workers and experienced farmers within his community, especially how to artificially pollinate his cocoa to enhance fruiting and now does that for other farmers.
The journey was tough and weary but he did not relent in investing the little capital he had saved from his toil in the city and just as the saying perseverance leads to success, he stood tall as the Overall Municipal Best Farmer for the 39th Municipal Farmers’ Day Celebration held @ Tikobo No. 2 on 24th November, 2023. He believes this achievement will encourage the youth to venture into agriculture seriously.
His name is Akuffo Addo Solomon from the Anweafutu community. He is a thirty- five (35) year-old teacher married with two (2) children. He has employed Sixteen (16) permanent workers and Thirty-Two (32) casual workers.
As part of his corporate social responsibilities, he supports:
• market women in his community with soft loans
• the needy in his community in cash and in-kind
• in fundraising to build Primary and Junior High School Classroom Blocks
AYEEKOO!!! TO OUR GALLANT FARMERS AND FISHERMEN.
AYEEKOO!!! TO MR. AKUFFO ADDO SOLOMON
